Brokers and insurers are a path. The encryption notice is not on their calendar.
Most buyers have never hired this firm. They will not, until the hour. Google for the incident. LinkedIn for referring counsel. Not a letter to security officers.
Incident-response brokers and cyber insurers are a structural ceiling, not a seasonal dip. Most buyers have never hired this firm before. They will not, until the incident. Writing to CISOs before an incident is the wrong program for this practice.
What is actually broken
The notice is the trigger. The CISO and the GC search, call a panel, or use a name already in the IR plan. Adding another broker does not put you in that search, and mailing CISOs “in case” is the outbound program.
How the campaign runs
Google ads for the buyer in the hour, CISOs, GCs, and IR teams; incident language as a second theme. Keywords are always custom to the work you actually do. Brand bidding and competitor-brand bidding only when the strategy calls for it. Details: paid search.
Foundational work in parallel: the website, local directories, and general search appearance, so the click is a negotiation practice, not a generic cyber mill. A landing page may be included; a full website is quoted separately. Directories and bios: online profile development.
LinkedIn ads aimed at referring counsel: CLE and lunch-and-learns for cyber and IR lawyers who send the file after the clock. Paid ads only. We do not offer LinkedIn message outreach (InMail, connection sequences, or DMs). That is a different channel, we do not run it, and it is not part of this program.
Ads produce inbound while the problem is live. Foundation is why the buyer or a referring lawyer trusts the firm enough to call. This is Visibility Program work. If the event is a discovered breach rather than an active ransom demand, see our data-breach response page instead. How this is scoped lives on the Visibility Program.
Why we're not generalists
Generalist marketing agencies will not take the time to understand how this practice actually wins work. The practice is too specialized, the file count is too small, and the work of understanding it bores them. They want large spend and a lot of traffic to a landing page. We will run a tight campaign for a shop that closes fewer files at a higher value. That is the point of this page.
Most agencies do not understand specialized industries well enough to advertise them honestly. We take the time to learn how the work is sold so the keywords and the page the click lands on match the work you actually take. A complex practice deserves that. A generic landing page does not.

Share a few details and we'll follow up with exactly how this works for a firm like yours.
How fast this can run
We can get ads live in under a week. What usually slows that down is approval on your side: the keywords, the spend, the page the click lands on. Directories, bios, and a site a buyer will trust take longer to finish. The website and listings are why the person who clicks trusts you. It is not the same as going live on search.
Lawyer-to-lawyer, in select circumstances
Direct mail or similar correspondence to referring counsel can be part of the work in select circumstances. It is not a list of CISOs. It is not LinkedIn message outreach. Bar rules still vary; the firm confirms what it can run.
How this is billed
This is Visibility Program work, not the outbound program. You pay ad spend directly to the platforms (Google and, where we run it, LinkedIn). ROI Wire is billed on a retainer that scales with that spend. That is not a flat project fee, not a percentage of closed files, and not an outbound retainer.
A landing page may be included at no additional cost. A full website build is always quoted and billed separately. Foundational services (copywriting, CRM, multichannel sequences, web design) sit under this track as the credibility layer, not as a correspondence program.
Scope is on the Visibility Program. Search mechanics are on paid search. Surfaces are on online profile development.
What is not included
We do not build a list of CISOs or IT directors. We do not write, mail, or phone companies “in case” they get hit. We do not negotiate the ransom or join an insurer panel. Data-breach is a different problem page. Forensic practices stay outbound. They are not this problem.
